Oil tanker

Editorial Illustration about old Oil Tanker Spills.
The damage and volume of oil spilled are not yet known.
Any spill is disastrous — ecologically, economically and socially. The Exxon Valdez disaster killed an estimated 250,000 seabirds, hundreds of otters, seals and eagles, and some two dozen killer whales. Oil vapours are toxic and contaminate seafood, harming public health and the local economy. And residues linger for decades.
